THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME – Review by Susan Granger

Adapted from Laura Dave’s 2001 best-seller, the limited series The Last Thing He Told Me finds relatively newly married Hannah (Jennifer Garner) teaming up with her 16 year-old step-daughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) to track down her husband Owen Michaels (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who has gone missing. It’s an interesting premise but lacks the kind of edgy urgency that would make it into a compelling thriller.

FLEE (TIFF2021) – Review by Leslie Combemale

September 16, 2021September 19, 2021 Leslie Combemale Amin Nawabi, animation, documentary, Flee, Jonas Power Rasmussen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Riz ahmed, TIFF

Danish writer/director Jonas Power Rasmussen’s documentary Flee about Afghan refugee Amin, his arduous journey getting to Denmark, and how that experience colors his current life, is destined to become a shining example of great indie animation. It may be painful to watch Amin go through the horrors he describes, but it is also an incredibly uplifting, inspiring story that will leave its viewers with a powerful feeling of hope.
